With the purpose of protecting employment, African National Council (ANC) has asked local retailers to co-operate with Government in restricting textile imports. Textile and apparel industries are set to refurbish themselves to ensure stable supply to consumers.

South African textile retailers do not trust Chinese manufacturers completely. They believe that production of local textile and garment units will fall short of demand during festivals and seasons.
